Lost Vape Thelema Solo Pro Design and build

The Thelema Solo 100 Pro is Lost Vape's single battery addition to the Thelema series. The kit version includes the Centaurus Sub Ohm V2 tank and is built around a compact, ergonomic chassis that accepts a single 18650 or 21700 cell with an adapter supplied for the smaller battery.

This review focuses on real world design, setup and performance, and covers the Centaurus V2 tank and UB Max coil platform supplied with the kit.

Lost Vape Thelema Solo Pro Design and build

The Solo 100 Pro uses the same body shell as previous Thelema models, so side panels are cross compatible. The battery door follows a C-frame design where the positive is on the top and panels are interchangeable with doors from earlier Thelema devices.

Controls are laid out with an on off slider, a side-mounted fire button and up and down adjustment buttons. The device has a large display behind a tinted overlay; the screen area is left untinted where necessary so visibility is maintained. A small rubber foot sits on the base and the 510 plate is secured with security hex screws.

Screen, chipset and user interface

The device runs Lost Vape's Quest 3.0 chipset. A triple click on the fire button opens the menu system. Menu items include theme selection, brightness and screen time, clearing puff count, locking the power buttons, resetting to factory defaults and a version readout.

There is also a quick lock function: holding both adjustment buttons together locks and unlocks the firing buttons. Wattage adjusts in 0.5 W increments, with finer adjustment more useful below 20 W.

Power, resistance and charging

Documented operating range is 5 W up to 100 W. During demonstration the device displayed a low resistance reading around 0.01 ohm and supported up to 3.0 ohm on the high end. Temperature control and a boost mode are available alongside standard wattage control.

USB Type-C 5 V 2 A charging is provided for convenience, but using an external battery charger is recommended when possible to avoid stressing the device port.

Centaurus Sub Ohm V2 tank

The included Centaurus Sub Ohm V2 is a top airflow, top fill sub ohm tank that uses the UB Max coil platform. The top cap unlocks and slides to expose the fill port; rotating it back locks the cap. The kit commonly includes a bubble glass fitted and a spare straight glass.

The tank uses push fit coil installation from the base. The 510 connection is standard and conforms to the expected sub ohm tank layout.

Coil options and wicking

Two coil types compatible with this tank were covered:

• 0.15 ohm single mesh UB Max coil, rated 80 to 120 W
• 0.3 ohm UB Max coil, rated 40 to 60 W

Wicking is straightforward. Saturate the exposed cotton sections with e-liquid, add a small amount into the coil bore to help prime the internal cotton, then insert the coil into the base, reassemble and fill the tank.

Setup and filling

To fill, unlock the top cap by aligning the unlock marker and slide the cap back to expose the fill port. Depress the bottle nozzle, fill via the port and rotate the cap back to lock. When using a fresh coil, give a few minutes for the cotton to fully saturate before vaping to avoid dry hits.

In use and performance

With a single 21700 installed and the 0.3 ohm coil, the kit was tested at 50 W as a balanced starting point for this setup. On this device the boost mode delivers very quick ramp up and an immediate hit from the coil. Flavour from the Centaurus V2 using the UB Max coil was reported as strong for a single-battery sub ohm setup.

Battery life on a quality 21700 cell is acceptable for this power level and form factor. The device fits well in the hand and the side button layout and on off slider make operation straightforward.

Practical notes and care

• Use the supplied adapter for 18650 cells and ensure correct polarity on insertion. The C-frame door places the positive terminal at the top.
• Although the kit supports USB-C charging, regular use of an external charger is the safer option for cell longevity and port durability.
• The 510 is secured with security screws, so take care when stripping the tank down to avoid losing or damaging them.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Compact single battery design with good ergonomics
• Cross compatible side panels with older Thelema models
• Quest 3.0 chipset with boost mode and temperature control
• Fast ramp up and solid flavour from UB Max coils
• Top fill with locking cap and spare glass included

Cons

• USB-C charging is for convenience only; external charging is recommended
• Security screws on the 510 may complicate servicing for some users
• Sub ohm performance depends on coil choice and will affect battery life

Final thoughts

The Thelema Solo 100 Pro kit pairs a compact single battery mod with the Centaurus Sub Ohm V2 to deliver a capable sub ohm package that still fits comfortably in the hand. The Quest 3.0 chipset offers useful modes including boost and temperature control, while the Centaurus tank and UB Max coils provide easy wicking and good flavour at modest wattages.

For vapers who want a single-battery sub ohm option with flexible coil choices and a familiar Thelema form factor, the Solo 100 Pro is worth considering. Prioritise a quality 21700 cell for best runtime and continue to use an external charger where practical.
